No Smog and Emissions Testing for Transferring Titles
An emissions certificate is not required for a title transfer. Even if such a law existed, it would be difficult to enforce because only a few counties in Illinois - in and around Chicago and East St. Louis - require an inspection for emissions.After the car title is transferred, it becomes the responsibility of the new owner, and only car owners in the following counties must pass a smog check: Cook, DuPage, Lake and parts of Kane, Kendall, McHenry, Madison, Monroe, Will, and St. Clair. If you ignore emissions requirements, Illinois authorities will prevent you from renewing your vehicle registration.
Transferring a Car Title
When it comes to transferring your title, you only need to properly sign-over the title and record the vehicle's odometer reading. That's it. Nothing more. You don't even have to provide a bill of sale (though it's recommended). Just make sure your remove your IL license plates. These belong to you.Post Comment for "Is Illinois smog or emissions certification required when transferring titles?"
